Re-worked the “Programmatic G-Code Generators” page on the wiki as the more general:

and have been trying to sort out the various graphical IDEs and tools which do/allow parametric modeling:
https://wiki.shapeoko.com/index.php/Design_into_3D#Parametric_CAD_tools
In the course of doing this, thought folks might be interested in and want to examine the following tools which I think are esp. promising:
- https://maker.js.org/ — a Microsoft Garage project, this is a JavaScript library for creating and sharing modular line drawings. Has an interactive interface, and a facility for customizing it — preview is in 2D, getting a 3D preview requires that one export an STL or openjscad code
- https://gen.haxit.org/organizer/ — arguably the nicest OpenJSCAD exemplar, it is unfortunate that only the one design has thus far been done
- https://github.com/mkeeter/antimony — see also the http://mattkeeter.com/research/thesis.pdf
I’d be grateful to know of any tools which I missed, or any thoughts folks might have on this sort of thing.
